I’ve traveled around the Philippines<\/strong> <\/a>for a month and I’ve been to dozens of beaches. However, only a few of them really stuck to my heart and Tubod Beach in Siquijor is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that there are a few other famous beaches<\/strong><\/a> on this island but most of them are overrun by tourists. Sometimes I like touristy beaches because you can find restaurants and hotels near them but at other times I like to stay away from all the hustle & bustle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re planning to travel to Siquijor, plan at least three days for this awesome island. We initially booked 3 nights and loved it so much that we booked another 3. We visited some incredible places such as Salagdoong Beach<\/strong><\/a> and Cambugahay Falls<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to other islands in the Philippines, Siquijor is a hidden gem. It’s still underdeveloped, there are only a few hotels to choose from and the nature is INCREDIBLE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article you’ll find all the information you need when visiting the stunning Tubod Beach. White sand, crystal-clear water, incredible marine life – you can find all these at Tubod Beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Things to do at Tubod Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go snorkeling and explore the marine life!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tubod Marine Sanctuary is the best place for scuba diving and snorkeling on Siquijor Island. The protected reef is situated on the beachfront of Coco Grove Resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we first got to Tubod Beach we had no idea that this place is perfect for snorkeling. We just wanted to go swimming and enjoy the views. However, we saw a local lady renting snorkeling gear and said “Why not?”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rented snorkeling masks and headed directly into water. There were hardly any people on the beach so we left our backpacks hoping that we will find them in the same place after our snorkeling adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to know<\/strong> – You can also rent snorkeling gear directly from Coco Grove Resort. They also offer scuba diving lessons<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After swimming over the seagrass for a few meters, the coral reefs started to appear in front of our eyes. I was simply amazed. We started to see all kinds of colorful fish, including Nemo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we swam further, the water got deeper and the corals were even more impressive. Some of them had over one meter. I managed to get quite close to the fish and watched how they swam slowly, not even bothered by my presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re only allowed to snorkel in the designated area at Tubod Marine Sanctuary and if you go towards the edge, you can relax on a floating platform. After snorkeling for about half an hour, we were happy to catch our breath on the platform and admire Tubod Beach from another perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
